Alder Close, Whitehaven, CA28

Enjoying an almost double-sized plot and panoramic views across Whitehaven and out to sea, this immaculate five-bedroom detached home offers a rare amount of space in one of the towns most sought-after residential areas. The additional parcel of land beside the property is a major part of its appeal, giving the garden a scale and sense of openness that sets this home apart.

The elevated position means the outlook can be appreciated throughout the day. From the upper part of the garden, the view stretches across the town towards the coastline and sea. It can also be enjoyed from inside the property, most notably through the lounge windows. Whether relaxing at home or spending time outside, the setting is a constant reminder of what makes this location so special.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with a layout that works particularly well for family life. The spacious lounge is a comfortable room with space for substantial furniture and a fireplace that provides a natural focal point. The windows bring in plenty of light and make the most of the coastal outlook, giving the room a lovely sense of space.

The kitchen and dining area provides room for both cooking and sitting down together. There is ample cupboard and worktop space, while the dining area comfortably accommodates a family table. Its arrangement makes it equally suitable for everyday meals and having friends or relatives over. Three bedrooms are located on this floor, along with a beautifully presented bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and separate shower.

The ground floor adds further flexibility to the home. Two additional bedrooms could serve a larger family, provide comfortable space for guests or allow one room to be used as a home office. A contemporary shower room on this level is particularly useful when the household is busy or visitors are staying. There is also an integral garage and a separate utility room, providing practical space for storage and household tasks.

Outside, the generous driveway is finished in block paving and provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The property also has solar panels fitted to the roof, which can help reduce the amount of electricity drawn from the grid and, in turn, household energy costs.

The garden deserves particular attention. There is an established area with a decked seating space and feature pond, ideal for outdoor meals or simply enjoying some fresh air. Beyond this, the substantial additional land extends beside the house as a broad lawn. It offers the kind of room that families often hope to find but rarely do: space for children to play, for gardening, or for everyone to spread out and enjoy the outdoors.

At the upper end of this extra land, there is also the opportunity to create a further patio or seating area positioned to take full advantage of the elevated views. It is easy to picture sitting there on a clear evening, looking across Whitehaven and towards the sea. Together with the existing deck, it gives the garden the potential for several distinct places to relax and entertain. There is a short, barely used public footpath located towards the end of this additional parcel of land.

Alder Close is well suited to buyers who want a desirable residential setting without feeling far from town. Whitehaven town centre is around ten minutes away and offers shops, caf©s and restaurants, along with its historic harbour and coastal walks. The location, flexible five-bedroom accommodation and unusually generous outside space make this an especially appealing family home.

Properties with this combination of presentation, parking, plot size and views are seldom available. A viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the scale of the garden and the outlook from both the house and its grounds.
